Now this can all change depending on so many things but this is the plan.  But to misquote von Moltke the Elder,  "No lesson plan survives contact with the children"
I will continue the daily agenda especially if "things" happen.  So here is today.
1 Finish Activity Motion Stations
2 Review Activity Mass, Weight, Gravity, and Friction Stations
3 CH10 Test tomorrow

Pro Tip:  High performing students noticed that they could fill in all of their agenda entries for the rest of the year.  Just sayin'

Agenda April 18

Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.

And the 110th anniversary of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake.  What a day.
So over Spring Break I did a number of things but Friday what I did was panic.
As of today there are three weeks until the Science STAR test.  I have spent the bulk of today mapping out the next three weeks so we cover everything before testing.  The only thing we cannot do is review.  I will see if  I can post an abreviated version of the calendar here.  So, here we go.

1 Activity Motion Stations Day 1
2 WS Life Saving Barrier (due Wed. May, 11)
3 WS Showing Forces (due Wed. May, 11)
